Beautiful paths through curated plantings make this spot absolutely transporting. You are no longer in the suburbs, but in a wooded garden that goes on forever. My preteen and I spent a few hours and they flew by, taking pictures, reading about different plants, taking in the sculptures, we even monkeyed around in the family area for a bit. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves! I plan to go back a few times to see how it changes with the seasons.

the old Danforth was in downtown Framingham. Had to be moved out of the bldg - now merged w/ Framingham State. Art classes, super equipped and light bathed studios, lovely art displays, including local native, Meta Warrick Fuller's permanent sculpture collection (of the Harlem Renaissance).

Cows mooing, goats baa-ing...a real farm with self-serve cartons of fresh eggs, a small gift shop, and lots of charm. Great for families with children.

Very friendly to dog walkers. Don't need a leash if dog is well behaved. Some people are not very good with their dogs, so be prepared for strange dogs running up to you. If your dog is skittish or wary of other dogs , this might not be soothing. If your dog loves to play with other dogs, this place could be good. It's up to the dog and the owner.
